Varieties of Ascension

    There are three popular Ascension stories in circulation today -
Personal, Group, and Planetary. How we relate to the Ascension can
reveal many of our unspoken desires, beliefs, and fears.


Personal Ascension

    A Personal Ascension is an event in which an individual shifts
from a dense physical body to an immortal Light body. (Materialistic
versions do not include transforming into a Light body; rather, they
envision having an eternally healthy physical body.) Here are two
example of Personal Ascensions.

    Perhaps the most publicized Personal Ascension is that of Jesus of
Nazareth. According to the Christian Scriptures, after He died, his
body disappeared from the tomb. He descended into Hell - the darkest
realm of the fourth dimension (astral plane) - for two days. He then
returned in His luminous Light body. After visiting his disciples, He
ascended into Heaven.

    The Hindus do not reserve Personal Ascension exclusively for their
deities. They know that many perfected yogis have ascended. When this
happens, the light/life force leaves the body, and the physical body
either disappears or turns to ashes.

    Today, Personal Ascension is a very popular goal. For many, it is
an attractive release from suffering. It is the preferred alternative
to dying. If this is our motive for Ascending, then our work may lack
the force, conviction, and clarity needed to support the planetary
project effectively, though it will serve at some level.

    With the above in mind, we may deduce three motives for Personal
Ascension: To (1) break free from the anguish of Earth hell (third-
dimensional), (2) escape from the wheel of karma (fourth-dimensional),
or (3) serve The All That Is in a higher way (fifth-dimensional).


Group Ascensions

    Many religious and philosophical groups have Ascension stories. To
ascend, one must abide by certain rules: "If you belong to our group
and behave in the manner that we prescribe, then you will ascend with
the rest of us." In this context, Group Ascensions are conditional.

    There are also stories about Cultural Ascensions where entire
civilizations ascend. As Group Ascensions are conditional, however, it
is unlikely that an entire civilization could ascend. All historic
civilizations have members whose vibrational frequency would
disqualify them from ascending. This leads to the conclusion that
Group Ascensions, at least in the way that groups present them, are
illusions.

    On the plus side, those involved with these movements can find the
company comforting and supportive. There are many others who share
one's vision of salvation.


Planetary Ascensions

    Planetary Ascensions come in two flavors - Conditional and
Unconditional. In Conditional Planetary Ascensions, anyone who meets
certain criteria enters the Kingdom. If they do not, they are left
behind.

    Essentailly, these are planet-wide Group Ascensions, made up of
consciously advanced members of various groups. No single group has an
exclusive on the Event. It is improbable that all the members of any
one group ascends.

    There are many psychological forces at play for those pursuing
Conditional Ascension. They can manifest as "Get yourself together,
quick!" or "Go out and save everyone!" or "Fight the Evil!" or "You've
got to be in the right place so the e.t.'s can beam you up!" It is
dualistic by nature.

    Conversely, in an Unconditional Ascension, the planetary
consciousness invites all of its inhabitants to enter the Garden. Our
information states that the Ascension of Planet Earth will be the
first Unconditional Ascension in the history of the Universe.

    Unconditional Ascension psychology says, "We are all in the hands
of our spirit. The 'Third- and Fourth-Dimensional Reality' Phase is
ending for the planet. It is time for everyone to come home." It
represents a planetary expression of unconditional love. Our
motivation for participating is, "It is my job, and I love my work
[most of the time]."
